Fish Wisdom

Fish Wisdom: If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles.

Jim Simons and Joe Vargas' fishing trip

Joe Vargas and Jim Simons caught this crappie in late February on Lake Horton in Fayette County.  The weather had been erratic and no one was catching fish that day, except for Joe and Jim, of course.


Joe and his crappie

In total, Joe and Jim actually managed to catch nearly 80 fish and kept 50.  Some of the crappie came in at over 2 lbs, which is large for a crappie.  They also caught a few bass and bowfin, 

It was so windy they could not even anchor over a spot, so they would find the fish and drift over them again and again until they stopped biting, and then they would hunt for the next school.

They fished with combination of minnows, jigs and savvy fisherman's intuition.
 
Good work, fine fellows!
